Subject: Response: IPC-E-12-27 I Notice of Workshops! Order No. 32767
Attachments: NetMetering IPUC PCC-E-12-27 Public Comments Categorized.pdf
Dear Commissioners,
In response to notice of Public Workshop Order 32767 concerning IPC-E-12-27 Net Metering case.
I'm concerned at how few of the 353 net metering customers have submitted comments as of 3/22/13.
This may indicate that many of them may not actively be aware or understand the consequences to them if IPC's
request were to be fully implemented. It is easy to overlook or forget about a single letter mailed from IPC on
11/30/12, especially when it didn't have red flags or urgent notice to indicate the detrimental significance to net
metering customers. The letter had a very benign introduction saying... "requesting authority to modify its net
metering service provisions to facilitate continued growth in the program.".
From the public comments posted between 12/06/13 & 3/22/13, I summarized the total number of public
comments and assigned them into 5 categories. The data is shown in the attached PDF. The following is a
summary of the 290 comments...
197- General Points, comments that are short or simply supportive of green power without details of the IPC
case.
39- Detailed Points, comments that address specific details of the case or have other detailed info on net
metering.
12- Future Net-Meter Customer, comments that contain relevant detail and likely to become a net metering
customer under favorable conditions.
39- Current Net Meter Customer, Comments for people that are currently net metering, most have detailed
comments, 2 or 3 are not IPC customers.
3- Installer/Rep, Comments from individuals or company that install net metering systems or represents the
interest of them.
I would like to suggested that IPC or the IPUC that has the contact information of the net metering customers
send additional notices updating them of the recent actions by the IPUC and notifying them of the public
workshop. It has been almost 4 months since the net metering customer were mailed notices.
Sincerely,

Dear Sir,
This comment is an addition to the one that I submitted on 12/19/2012.
After reading nearly all of the hundreds of comments submitted for consideration in this
case, I've not read one that is not in favor of incentivizing green energy development,
contrary to the IPC proposal.
The 150+ page Larkin testimony attempts to make the case that the 350 current net-metering
customers are having such a Draconian effect on the other 495,570 IPC customers (IPC website)
that the rates for net-metering customers need to be dramatically increased. You don't need a
150 page document to realize that this is laughable (350/495,570 = 0.07%).
Larkin also attempts to make the case that consumer-produced electrons flowing up-stream are
not billed fairly because of demand-related issues. It seems to me that it would be a simple
matter to calculate how much it costs to build and maintain a connection to the grid, and
charge each customer accordingly, regardless of demand.
I think that what is actually happening is that the "lights" have come on in the IPC
corporate suite, and the bean counters realize that if alternative energy development,
especially solar, gains traction in IPC's service area under the current net-metering policy,
their bottom line could take a major hit. It's their job to make sure that doesn't happen.
Hopefully, the IPUC won't be complicit in this endeavor.
